Conference and Related Activities
The cancellation and refund policies
have been revised to minimize potential conference and hotel room liability for
which NAHRO commits well in advance of conference dates. Such expenses include,
but are not limited to hotel rooms, catering, and attendee supplies, i.e., badges,
programs, etc. The following policies apply to: Conference
Registrations: All cancellations must be in writing on company letterhead
and submitted by mail or fax. No telephone or e-mail cancellations will be honored.
Cancellations received on or before September 25 will receive a full refund. Cancellations
received by October 10 will receive 50% of the registration fee. No refunds or
credits will be issued after October 10. No partial refunds will be given for
functions that you do not attend. Pre- and Post-Seminars and Exams:
All seminar/exam cancellations must be in writing on company letterhead and
received by mail or fax. No telephone or e-mail cancellations will be accepted.
If your cancellation is received at least 20 business days prior to the start
of the course, NAHRO will credit the full tuition amount toward another seminar/exam,
which you must attend/take within one year of your cancellation to avoid forfeiting
your tuition, or provide you with a full refund (at your option). In the event
that you cancel without at least 20 business days notice and do not wish to have
your tuition credited towards another seminar/exam (under the terms specified
above), a $75 cancellation fee will be retained from your tuition refund to cover
administration costs. NAHRO reserves the right to cancel or change the location
of any seminar/exam. In the rare event that NAHRO should find it necessary to
cancel the seminar/exam, you will be notified up to 20 business days prior to
the first day of the scheduled event. NAHRO will not be liable for or assume any
obligations to any persons who have not registered with NAHRO or otherwise received
confirmation of their seminar/exam registration. If you do not attend the seminar/exam,
after having registered, and do not notify NAHRO as specified in the cancellation
policy, no refunds or credits will be issued. NAHRO is not responsible for any
travel costs made prior to receipt of seminar/exam confirmation. Conference
